KUALA LUMPUR – The Election Commission’s (EC) proposed new voting boundaries and renaming of seats will be implemented from today.
This is after the Yang di-Pertuan Agong gave his royal assent to the redelineation recommendations.
In an order gazetted today by the federal government, it was stated that the Yang di-Pertuan Agong had exercised his powers under the Federal Constitution’s Thirteenth Schedule’s Section 9 to make the order for the EC’s proposals to be implemented from today.
“This order comes into operation on March 29, 2018.
“The recommendations contained in the report of the Election Commission dated March 6, 2018 shall have effect from the date of the coming into operation of this Order,” the order dated March 28 said.
The order signed off by Cabinet secretary Tan Sri Ali Hamsa is also known as the Federal Constitution (Delimitation of Constituencies) (States of Malaya) Order 2018.
This means that the new voting boundaries can now be used for the 14th general election, which must be held by this August but can be called earlier.
Critics have said the EC’s recommendations would give an unfair advantage to the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition, but the EC has denied such claims.
